I want it to print in color instead in black and white and I couldn't find where on my computer where I can do that. I mean I went to where it said printers and other hardware but I wasn't successful on how to change the printer to print in color.How do I change my printer from printing in black and white to color?
Here are the user's manuals for Lexmark printers.

When you cue a file or page to print and the print window come up. Look for the ';preferences'; button and click on it.


That should open another window and you should have a choice of ';black'; or ';color';. Select ';color';.


Leave it in this setting. If you print a memo, or a letter, it will print in ';black %26amp; white'; automatically.





Hope this helps.
go to printer properties when printing a page change deafult as colour it will print in colour, if default is black it will print in blak and white only, if no colour in cartridge will also result only black and grey
all u have to do is put color ink
